Marlo Thomas visited NBC's TODAY this morning to chat about her latest role in Joe DiPietro's play Clever Little Lies. "Nothing feels better than people laughing and gasping. There's so many switches in this play and surprises that they gasp, and that just kills me. I love that!"

Watch the appearance below:


Two-time Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro's critically acclaimed new comedy Clever Little Lies opened on October 12th at the Westside Theatre (Upstairs) (407 West 43rd Street). Clever Little Lies stars Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe Award-winner Marlo Thomas,George Merrick, Greg Mullavey, and Kate Wetherhead, with direction by David Saint.

A mother always knows when something is wrong. When Alice (Marlo Thomas) notices her beloved husband Bill (Greg Mullavey) has returned home on edge after a tennis match with their son, she grows suspicious and springs into action. Determined to piece together the puzzle, she invites her son, Bill, Jr. (George Merrick) and daughter-in-law, Jane (Kate Wetherhead), over for drinks and dessert. Sidesplitting chaos ensues as Alice digs for the truth, resulting in even more honesty than anyone expected. Shattering and hilarious, Clever Little Lies is a story of long-term love and marriage... for better... and for worse.

CLEVER LITTLE LIES had its world premiere at New Jersey's George Street Playhouse in December 2013, whereDavid Saint serves as Artistic Director. Having played a critically acclaimed sold-out run there, the production featuring the entire original cast had its New York premiere at East Hampton's Guild Hall in July 2014 where it also became an audience and critics' favorite.
